This week a band I’ve been listening to on my bike rides- I was so happy to get a request to have them - and WahLah! We made it happen. I’m hoping to get them here in DFW ( McKinney’s to be exact) so stay tuned for that! But for now listen and enjoy these stellar harmonies and retro sounds of a great group” The Woods” . You’ll see why the major acts are lining up to have them on their tours Originally aired 12/07/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

Check out this weeks guest MattieRoseMusic.com where you can learn more about this Texas girl who cut her teeth on icons like Patsy Cline, and created her own sound since her early days of singing at 3 years old. Her newest single Snake will undoubtedly show you the incredible pipes this girl has. After her college days in Nashville and a degree from Belmont , she’s back in her home turf just north of Ft. Worth and you’ll be hearing a lot more from this gal. Originally aired 11/30/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

Lots of deep dives this week into Todd Snider and there’s so much great content out there. Do yourselves a favor and follow Otis Gibbs and particularly his documentary “ I was a nervous wreck”. Otis has a piece out there also imploring us not to fall prey to conspiracy theories surrounding his death… instead let’s all find ways to bring a smile to our faces through Todd’s countless stories and music and poetry. Like many out there we will be dedicating our show this week to Todd and his amazing gift of humankind and authenticity. He wasn’t just a singer songwriter- A philanthropist, a strong voice for the at risk, a music troubadour, a hippie and he had a childlike appreciation for the things that matter most. Rest in peace & love - all the struggles are over now. #TexasTroubadour Originally aired 11/23/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

This weeks guest was discovered at a Zac Wilkerson show where I saw Dustin Massey open up and blow me away with his vocals. It’s important for you fans to get shies early enough to see those that start the evening . I’ve found a plethora of incredible artists this way. Dustin is now on my radar and after this weeks show I’m certain will be on yours   Originally aired 11/16/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

Chaz Marie is my guest this week with a brand new single for all you gals with a “bestie” in your life. Her voice gives her the ability to belt out any style with ease but her groove sits in between Country and SOUL - Jon Christopher Davis penned her the hillbilly Aretha.

With a new single release “ The Next Right Thing” and a new album in the works.. Kristen Kelly , my guest this week shares about her success of her debut album on Arista Nashville that brought her the hit some “Ex- Old Man “ her tour with some of the biggest names in country music - even a Grand Ole Opry show. Now she signed with a Texas based label and is back to her roots. Our conversation got personal as we talked about the therapy of writing music through the pain of life's unplanned circumstances. Don’t miss this one!   Originally aired 11/02/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

Coyle Girelli is my guest this week to share his new release “Out of This Town”, on Sun Records, a collaboration project with the late, Texas native, Mac Davis (“Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me”, so many of Elvis’s biggest hits, and so much more!). This album takes you on a journey the way many great records did in my formative years. When a story was told, beginning when the needle first hit the vinyl, till the last lyric was sung. I was so moved by Coyle, and it is easy to understand why Mac reached out to him after seeing him on the David Letterman show a decade ago. Be sure to listen this week, Coyle is a special kind of artist. Originally aired 10/26/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

It never gets old… I love giving some the best in Texas music to many of you who might not know—Wesley Hanna is definitely one of them. With his new record “ Magnolia” about his Texas hometown you’ll want to see a show for sure and spin these in your favorites. He’s even got a great duet with one of our fav’s Courtney Patton.

What a gift I get to share this beautiful talent with you. Two decades of teaching in at- risk schools have given him insight to the very purpose of our existence. Do yourself a favor a listen to this interview with Matthew Payne and you too will want to put his songs in your regular rotation. If you like John Prine, Bruce Springsteen and Townes VanZant this is music for you. Originally aired 10/12/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.
